QUOTE (steveno89 @ Dec 7, 2016 -> 10:19 AM) Current options include: - Trade for a young catcher - Chris Ianetta - Ryan Hanigan (bad defense) -Kurt Suzuki - Al Avila - Welington Castillo (likely going to get overpaid and has several teams interested) - Matt Wieters (would make no sense for us) I agree. Sign him to a one year deal or one year with an option and see if he can rebuild value.

QUOTE (WhiteSoxLifer @ Dec 7, 2016 -> 10:20 AM) Hes going to have to be moved eventually. Hes a boras client and will walk when his 5 yrs are up. Better to get some out of him then let him walk for nothing. Would be surprised if he goes this soon but probably eventually. Wait for him to develop more.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Dec 7, 2016 -> 10:17 AM) Rockies signed Desmond. Per Rosenthal Wow what position is he expected to play?

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Dec 7, 2016 -> 09:49 AM) Please pass on this one Mr. Hahn. It's going to be ugly enough at Guaranteed Rate Field next summer. Don't make me watch Derek Holland pitch. I'm ok with it. As of now: Quintana Rodon Gonzalez Shields Holland would be whatever. Fulmer should start the year in Charlotte.

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Dec 7, 2016 -> 09:17 AM) Have to think the Angels are interested in Lawrie for 2B as well. Cliff Pennington is at the top of their depth chart. I hope so. My gut tells me he will be our starting 3B next year though.

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Dec 7, 2016 -> 09:12 AM) TR Sullivan ‏@Sullivan_Ranger 3m3 minutes ago Derek Holland's suitors are still the Pirates and the White Sox I feel like if it was down to those 2, he would pick the Pirates. Seems like it would be easier to rebuild value in the NL.

QUOTE (NCsoxfan @ Dec 7, 2016 -> 09:07 AM) Would anyone do Q for Clint Frazier & Torres? Yesterday morning, I would have said that I think that that offer is too light but now I don't know what to expect lol

QUOTE (oldsox @ Dec 7, 2016 -> 08:59 AM) The lead story and picture on Rockies' blog The Purple Row features Frazier. What exactly does that mean? We already know they are interested in him.

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Dec 7, 2016 -> 08:41 AM) Good grief. Hahn must be staying near electrical outlets to keep his cell phone charged up, or he has extra batteries. Gonna be a fun day Sox fans. Especially if it is true that both Chapman and Jansen could be close to making decisions.

QUOTE (oldsox @ Dec 7, 2016 -> 08:35 AM) I'm surprised Sox could not get Swihart included, partly because Bosox don't really need him, and we do. I wonder if the Sox had the option to take on the rest of Moncada's signing bonus along with taking on another player. My gut says probably not though.

QUOTE (ChicagoHeel @ Dec 7, 2016 -> 08:30 AM) Scott Griffin ‏@griffsz 8m8 minutes ago Alabama, USA .@BhamBarons GM Jonathan Nelson at baseball winter meetings: Rumblings of Todd Frazier being dealt @whitesox not done yet @991TheGame There goes my productivity at work lol

QUOTE (PolishPrince34 @ Dec 7, 2016 -> 06:13 AM) Let's continue talks with Rizzo/Nationals regarding Quintana. Package of Robles, Giolito starting point again. Quintana and Robertson. They've now lost out on Melancon and Davis and probably won't pay the price for Chapman or Jansen.

Probably a good scenario if Davis goes to Cubs since we haven't seen them connected to Robertson.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Dec 6, 2016 -> 08:36 PM) Great, do that anyway. Agreed.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Dec 6, 2016 -> 08:34 PM) Eh, the problem with Ramos is that someone still has to catch for the first 1/2 of the season, so we still need a catcher somewhere else to go along with Narvaez. Ryan Hanigan on minor league deal. Or any other backup type.

Ramos got $12.5 mill over 2 years with potential to make up to $18.5. I would have offered a bit more guaranteed money to get him in.

QUOTE (HeGone7 @ Dec 6, 2016 -> 08:27 PM) Is this true? I was watching mlbnetwork and I believe what they said was this was the offer from Saturday from Boston. I may have misunderstood, I'll say that, but I'm pretty sure that was what they said. They've been talking for a few days supposedly. Since the weekend I mean.

QUOTE (Middle Buffalo @ Dec 6, 2016 -> 08:21 PM) ??? Is he bald? I guess the poster doesn't realize bizarro is opposite haha

QUOTE (RaySox @ Dec 6, 2016 -> 07:48 PM) MLBN saying the Nationals and White Sox are still a good fit: Quintana, Eaton I want them dealt separately or with Robertson attached to either.

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Dec 6, 2016 -> 07:43 PM) Future Rotation: Rodon Giolito Fulmer Kopech Hansen =Profit When you try to predict rotations/lineups years in advance, it never turns out that way ha

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Dec 6, 2016 -> 06:28 PM) To be fair, Frazier has played plenty of 1B, especially in Cincy Probably better than Abreu defensively too.

QUOTE (IowaSoxFan @ Dec 6, 2016 -> 04:52 PM) Or acquire extra money to go all in on Otani next winter. He won't be a restricted free agent I thought.

Does Basabe go by his middle-name? I see he has a twin bro with the same first name but different middle name.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Dec 6, 2016 -> 03:48 PM) I remember when he got drafted, this board was ecstatic that he fell to them. Chris, you were one crazy SOB, but damn you were fun to watch and you'll be missed. I'll actually cheer for the Red Sox to win now. I thought about that too. Don't really want Red Sox to win. Might just cheer for him to win a Cy Young and then win with whatever team he signs with after this current deal (if its Red Sox, then f*** it).

QUOTE (bmags @ Dec 6, 2016 -> 03:47 PM) Going to pull this out because its interesting in its own right. Thought Moncada was becoming a much better 3b than 2b. Makes sense. And if he ends up out-growing the position, then he moves to third.
